Worker's Comp recordkeeping

brendaboo

I realize that medical & worker's comp papers must be kept seperate from the employee's personnel file. Can all medical & worker's comp papers be kept together or do I need to keep medical records seperate from worker's comp records? My company is in the state of Georgia.

My preference is to keep medical and work comp files separate, although you could keep both files together in one hanging file. Re: work comp, I keep a file folder on each work comp incident; each EE has a hanging file for work comp. It's easy to see, over time, which EEs have numerous work comp incidents by their number of files.
